Research summary

My research interests are in mathematically modelling environmental phenomena. Very often such naturally occurring flows are two-phase; they feature both solid particles and fluid. Large-scale examples include avalanches of rocks and snow, volcanic ash clouds, landslides, debris and mud flows, and the erosion and transport of sediment in coastal environments. Modelling these flows requires the development of physically-relevant mathematical models and the computation of their solutions using analytical and numerical techniques. Much of the research is interdisciplinary, with colleagues from the departments of earth science and engineering in Bristol and beyond.
